Is it possible to have different images for different languages??

Hello! I have a multi language website (alepia.ch) and i'm working into a new template so I was wondering if it is possible to have a different image for every different language like for the french an image written in french, same for italian and english.:blush:
Thank you

here is no builtin facility for different product images per language

If you are talking about template images applied through a stylesheet
Then look at the readme in your /css directory about different stylesheets

I want to change the logo.gif image for every language and also for the banners... I can't do this in the stylesheet!!

I have no suggestion for your problem, but a correction for the Italian
On the top menu bar it should read "per i professionisti" instead of professionali

Thank you! I'll change the wrong translation as soon as possible!!

But going back to the problem... can I have different home logo and banners for every different language that I have ??

The logo image is specified by the file(s) /includes/languages/LANGUAGE/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php:

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

If your site supports english, french, and italian and your template name is TEMPLATE, then you would have 3 files:

/includes/languages/english/TEMPLATE/header.php
/includes/languages/french/TEMPLATE/header.php
/includes/languages/italian/TEMPLATE/header.php

You could have 3 separate logo files (named, for example, logo_en.gif, logo_fr.gif and logo_it.gif) that are specified by the language-specific header.php file. All the logo files would be located in the /includes/templates/TEMPLATE/images directory.

Lat9 is correct- specify your logo image name in the Language file.

It is not working with me though... actually I changed every header.php file in each language but english (where it is logo.gif) but it still shows the logo.gif and not logo_fr.gif in french, for instance! Why it is not working with me?
Anyways I would like to know whether it is possible to do such a thing (different banners for different languages) also with the banners and how to do so!
The website is : ALEPIA-TEMPLATE1, it is still a work in progress ;)
Thanks in advance!

It is not working with me though.
Post the file name and path to it for each

Isn't the logo specified in tpl_header.php instead of /languages/TEMPLATE/header.php ??
@Kobra : Do you want the link of each logo?

Isn't the logo specified in tpl_header.php instead of /languages/TEMPLATE/header.php ??
NO

That is why I am asking you to post the file name you have edited and the path to the file for each language

the path is
For French logo:

/includes/templates/template25221/images/logo_fr.gif

For Italian logo:

/includes/templates/template25221/images/logo_it.gif

Then for the banners i uploaded them all in:
/images/design/banner*_XX.jpeg where * is number of banner (ie. 1,2and3) and XX stands for it or fr depending on the language

alepia:

the path is
For French logo:

/includes/templates/template25221/images/logo_fr.gif

For Italian logo:

/includes/templates/template25221/images/logo_it.gif

Then for the banners i uploaded them all in:
/images/design/banner*_XX.jpeg where * is number of banner (ie. 1,2and3) and XX stands for it or fr depending on the language
For the logo part:
it is
www/testing2911/includes/templates/template25221/images/logo_fr.gif

You need to review lat9's post #6

You need to have a couple(one for each language) header.php files

path will be similar to

/includes/languages/french/template25221/header.php
/includes/languages/italian/template25221/header.php
and so on

Your Template Monster template has the logo in .header_t .col1 a img instead of #headerWrapper #logoWrapper #logo a img, so it is possible that they have hacked the header code so that it no longer uses language-specific files for the logo.

@gjh42 what shall I do to change it back?

We can't answer that without seeing the TM versions of files (probably tpl_header.php). Just substituting stock versions would break the template; you would need to find the logo output code and compare it with the stock logo output to know what is different... if that is actually the problem (can't tell from here).

The TM template hard-codes /your_template/images/logo.gif as the only possible logo image.```

Shall I just change my tpl header with the 1.3.9h one?
